Russia's Soyuz MS-01 will launch to the International Space Station in June 2016. Anatoli Ivanishin of Roscosmos, NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and Takuya Onishi of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) will join the Expedition 47/48 crew.

The Soyuz MS-01 patch introduces the latest modification of the Soyuz spacecraft, in service for nearly 50 years. The ship is shown approaching the International Space Station, ready to deliver a new crew and start another expedition on the orbital facility.

The number of the ship is depicted in bold characters to emphasize a new beginning: one that might one day lead to a mission to Mars, the planet subtly hiding behind the zero.
